Édition accompagnée d'une traduction en vers Précédée d'une introduction, Notices historiques et critiques; suivie de notes et d'un glossaire Marc D’Hooghe "Le roman de la rose - Tome I" by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meung is an allegorical poem written in the late 13th century. This significant work explores themes of love, desire, and the complexities of human emotions through the journey of its main character, known as the Lover, who seeks to attain a beautiful rose, symbolizing love. The narrative structure intertwines the perspectives of its two authors, each contributing their unique style and ideas to the exploration of love and courtly behavior. At the start of the narrative, the Lover encounters a dream-like realm filled with personified virtues and vices, as he expresses his longing for the rose. He is introduced to a garden of pleasure guarded by various allegorical figures representing obstacles to love such as Danger, Shame, and Fear. The opening portion sets the stage for a rich allegorical tapestry where characters like Bel-Accueil (Good Reception) assist the Lover while others like Jalousie (Jealousy) and Malebouche (Bad Talk) complicate his pursuit. The setup captures the challenges and frustrations of romantic desire, emphasizing the balance between hope and despair that characterizes the quest for true love.
